In the world of pillow inserts, you’ll come across a number of options. But in the end, you will likely narrow your options to one of two types: feathers and polyfill.
Each of these pillow insert types has its advantages and drawbacks, so in this post, we will take a look at both of them to see which one best fits with your pillow needs.
Feather Pillow Inserts
One of the advantages of feather pillow inserts is that it’s cheaper than down, so it’s a lot more accessible to purchase for many more people. Feather pillow inserts are also very comfortable and can adapt or shape out fairly well.
However, a big problem with feather pillow inserts is that these pillow inserts are very difficult to clean. Feather pillow inserts are also have an unpleasant odur that does not seem to go away.
Feather-based pillow inserts are also quick to absorb and retain body heat, which makes them feel warm quicker and more than other types of pillow inserts.
Finally, because feather pillow inserts involve the use of animals (such as geese), some people will also consider them inhumane, or against their lifestyle preferneces.
Polyfill Pillow Inserts
Polyfill — also known as polyester fiberfill — pillow inserts are a popular option because they’re not only cheap, but they work really work. In fact, everyone will have at some point (if only ever) used polyfill pillow inserts. Polyfill pillow inserts are also very common, so they are easy to find.
However, polyfill pillow inserts also clump easily, which means they have a short lifespan and will need replacing more often. Like feather pillow inserts, polyfill pillow inserts can also catch bodyheat very quickly, which can make them uncomfortable for some people.
Which One Should You Pick?
Ultimately, it depends on your budget and preferences. If you don’t mind what you rest your head on at night, and also want to save as much money as possible, then polyfill is the way forward. But if you want more comfort, then consider feather pillow inserts.
